PCOS: Lookbeyond the ovaries

PCOS: Lookbeyond the ovaries.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is not simply a problem of the ovaries. In reality, for many women it is insulin resistance. You can see the ratio of women who have the condition and are overweight as compared to those who have it and are within normal weight.

Elevated insulin stimulates the ovaries to produce more androgens (male hormones), contributing to;

+ Irregular periods.

+ Acne.

+ Excess facial hair.

+ Difficulty ovulating, and

+ Challenges with fertility.

This is why treatment often extends beyond reproductive hormones alone. Improving insulin sensitivity through;

+ Nutrition.

+ Consistent exercise

+ Consistent fasting.

+ Quality sleep, and

+ Weigh loss.

helps women restore regular ovulation and reverse symptoms of PCOS.

Simply ask yourself why Metformin, a standard medication for pre-diabetes and diabetes is used in PCOS and your eyes will open up.

Ladies, go for regular check-up, if you get this diagnosis, don’t be shocked. Don’t start worrying and being desperate. This condition can be fixed by a change of the kitchen.

All those supplements:

+ Inositol.

+ Berberine.

+ Vitamin D.

+ Magnesium.

+ Chromium.
Aim at improving insulin sensitivity. I hope you have your answers.
